Holdren's guru: Dispose of 'excess children' like puppies

"Brown even contemplates infanticide as a permissible solution to overpopulation in extreme situations, writing that 'if we cared little for human emotions and were willing to introduce a procedure which most of us would consider to be reprehensible in the extreme, all excess children could be disposed of much as excess puppies and kittens are disposed of at the present time.'

"That Brown considers such a reprehensible reality a possibility is made clear on page 261, when he writes: 'And let us hope further that human beings will never again be forced to resort to infanticide in order to avoid excessive population pressure.'"
